Cape York is related to a couple of winning jumpers and has shown some promise, though is likely to do better when tacking hurdles. Ballygrooby Bertie probably needs more but newcomer Factor Fifty is worth monitoring for any market support. FRED LE MACON was hampered in the closing stages when fifth in what looked a decent contest at Wincanton last month. He still wasn't beaten far and gets the vote in this ahead of Vodka ' n Tonic, who just looked a shade one-paced when a beaten favourite in the other division of the same bumper at the Somerset track.
